The Top Gear presenter, 41, has insisted that he is “absolutely fine” after coming off the exact track as former show presenter Richard Hammond.

Dad-of-three Freddie, came off the runway as he drove a super-fast trike as part of a stunt for the hit BBC programme.

Medical crews were quickly on the scene as well as an ambulance, which is typically on stand-by during filming.

The star miraculously walked away from the incident uninjured but has since admitted he went “too far” while driving the trike at 124mph.

Speaking to The Mirror, the League of Their Own star said: “I’m absolutely fine and was back filming today.

“I go to great lengths to make sure I do well in Top Gear drag races but on this occasion, I went a few lengths too far.

The 41 year old was on the same track Richard Hammond was involved in an incident on.

“It will look more ridiculous than dangerous when you see it on TV.”

A BBC spokesman said: “The health and safety of our presenters and crew on Top Gear is paramount.

“As viewers of the recent series will have seen, Freddie is often keen to get ‘off the beaten track’.

“Tuesday’s filming at Elvington Airfield was no exception - but he suffered no injuries as a result of his spontaneous detour, as fans will see for themselves when we show the sequence in full in the next series.”
